Spurs defender Vedran Corlukahit out at the former Portsmouth boss for not resting his team enough during the club's campaign, during which they have fallen from being title contenders to struggling to finish in the top four.

"I am very happy with what I have done," Redknapp said. "The players have probably played on average 30 games this year and I don't think is a lot.

"It's my decision. It's difficult to rotate a team. It's okay to rotate if you have enough players to do it but I have not been in that position due to injuries. If people keep telling players they're tired, they'll believe it. It's a load of nonsense. It's an excuse."
